Lyrics

Spent my life pretending
A Hollywood ending
Was around the corner for me
That like on the big screen
The girl of my dreams
Would be waiting patiently
And all would be good
In our neighborhood
As long as she
Dedicated her life
To becoming my wife
Gratefully

Meeting you threw all that in my face
Guess I’ll have to replace the script I was sold

‘Cause you show me what love is
Now I’m just starting to live
And that’s why I don’t go to the movies
Anymore

It’s always the young having most of the fun
In life on the big screen
And the hero’s complete when he finally meets
The beautiful girl of his dreams
He knocks on her door ‘cause her love is the cure
For the longing of unfulfilled years
And she takes him in and their new life begins
No more tears

‘Cause with you in my life
There’s so much to learn
Every day I uncover my heart
I love what we’ve got
It keeps on growing
‘Cause we don’t quit when the going gets hard

I wake up and I look at your face
And I’m glad to replace fantasy with the real

And I’m learning what love is
There’s a take and there’s a give
And I don’t need to go to the movies
No I don’t want to go to the movies
And that’s why I don’t go to the movies
Anymore
